For over 40 years, New Mexico Foundation (NMF) has worked to improve the quality of life for all residents of New Mexico. The only statewide foundation, NMF was started in 1983 by a small group of dedicated and visionary volunteers who believed in the power of Philanthropy as a tool for inspiring creative, community-based change and prosperity. NMF has distinguished itself as a leader in philanthropy. Our progressive, grassroots approach to building stronger communities empowers community members to collaborate on critical issues by tapping into local resources and discovering the strength in themselves. In 2019 we changed our name to better define our purpose and identity as the only community foundation serving the state of New Mexico. New Mexico Foundation’s new building is more centrally located, at 8 Calle Medico in Santa Fe. The larger building has space available for nonprofit community gatherings, workshops, and meetings.

The impact we help create is of, by, and for Los Angeles, because the community is our foundation.
